Japan's transformation to an Information-oriented society advanced rapidly after 1970. This highly information-oriented society continues to be realized through the quickening of information management by computer and the development of diverse communication media. At the same time, the number of crimes committed by Computer-Network user has increased sharply in the last four or five years, according to the National Police Agency. A partial amendment of the Criminal Code in 1986 could not keep under control the latest Computer-Network crimes, such as "obscene or harassing use of telecommunications facilities" or "transmitting sexually explicit material to minors via the Internet". The U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Telecommunications Act of 1996 that made it illegal to transmit sexually explicit material to minors via the Internet in June 26, 1997. In this article, the author analyses the typical recent trends in Computer-Network crimes by dealing with reliable criminal cases reported to the police.
